3.5

The first half of this book was so engaging, but I think my main issue was the pacing- because the middle dragged and then the end was brought up so quickly

I guess this could be a plot device with her illness coming from nowhere, but it still felt jarring, alongside the strange time jumps

I also really disliked how Kate was portrayed when she got older, when I think this could have been a good story showing that both paths can be fulfilling, as long as the woman chooses her path. I also thought the plot

of setting up an affair between Tully and Johnny for it never to happen was odd- I'm glad it didn't but there were way too many hints towards it
